"The rare white-on-black attack is always 'front page' and featured coverage by most news media while the daily black-on-white attacks are “disappeared”: Either not reported on at all, reported only by local newspapers, but “whited out” of local TV and national newspaper coverage, or reported without informing viewers of the respective races of the attackers and victim...".

US Supreme Court Targets Death Penalty Case From 1998 Nine Mile Popeye’s (Black-on-White) MurderThe U.S. Supreme Court this fall will hear arguments in a challenge to the way Florida sentences people to death — a challenge backed by three former Florida Supreme Court justices and the American Bar Association. The case, which stems from the 1998 murder of a Nine Mile Road Escambia County fast-food worker, focuses on the role that juries play in recommending death sentences, which ultimately are imposed by judges. Timothy Hurst, now 36, was convicted in the 1998 murder of Cynthia Lee Harrison, who was an assistant manager at a Popeye’s Fried Chicken restaurant where Hurst worked. Harrison’s body was discovered bound in a freezer, and money was missing from a safe, according to a brief in the case. In sentencing Hurst to death, a judge found two aggravating circumstances — that the murder was committed during a robbery and that it was “especially heinous, atrocious or cruel,” according to the brief filed by Hurst’s attorneys. That brief, along with others in the case, were posted on an American Bar Association website and on SCOTUSblog, which closely tracks U.S. Supreme Court proceedings. - (Black-on-white)

Old wounds reopen for River Ridge parents as daughter's killer resentenced
Twelve years ago, Connie and Norman Fuselier of River Ridge sat in a courtroom in Pensacola and prayed that the man who stabbed their daughter more than 60 times would be found guilty of murder and receive the death sentence. After a weeklong trial that was one of the most painful experiences of their lives, that's exactly what happened. In 1998, Timothy Hurst, then 19 and an employee at the Popeye's restaurant in Pensacola where Cindy Harrison was the assistant manager, taped her hands and mouth before attacking her with a box cutter. He slit Harrison's throat, left her in the restaurant freezer, stole more than $1,000 and walked out. But more than a decade after the trial, Timothy Hurst remains on death row in Florida.

Parcher didn't want to talk on camera, but he told us he showed us cuts and bruises on both arms and on his back. He says he got them after the burglar - he caught red-handed - pushed him down the stairs. Parcher says he drove his granddaughter to work this morning. When he got home, he heard someone else upstairs. Parcher owns a gun collection, so he grabbed his "22" and climbed the stairs - coming face to face with the intruder in a bedroom. "I found your guns," said the burglar. "I got a gun too," said Parcher. That's when he says the burglar pushed him down the stairs - Parcher dragging him down with him. Parcher says he thought the man ran off, so he got up and called 911. But when officers arrived, they found more than just broken glass. "They found a male black individual dead at the door," said Metro Homicide Unit Commander Tim Corbett. - (Black-on-white)

Victim of pipe beating speaks out, surveillance video shows attackSHREVEPORT, LA - A Shreveport teenager will likely be left with permanent scars after being hit in the face with a metal pipe. It was reportedly thrown at her during a gas station brawl. Shreveport police released surveillance video Wednesday which shows most of the action. The video shows five young men walking into the A & Y Quick Stop in the 4400 block of Hillry Huckaby Road. Jessica Byrnes-Laird said the confrontation started when a group of strangers made some rude comments, and then it escalated from there. “I was still in my bathing suit and there were a few males around my boyfriend's age. They started speaking to me, they started saying inappropriate comments to me," explained Jessica. Jessica's boyfriend then confronted the men, and fists begin flying. It happened so quickly, onlookers seemed confused as to what lead up to the violence. “I was standing up screaming at them asking them to stop,” said Jessica. After it was over, a pipe was thrown through the open passenger window, shattering several of her teeth, and cutting her face. “I remember feeling my teeth in my hands, and letting them fall,” said Jessica. “Looking down, blood just started gushing, it was really traumatic." Jessica can be seen in the video walking around the parking lot holding her face, as her boyfriend tried to call for help. “It upset me that I was going through something like this for something so trivial,” said Jessica. Now, she hopes someone recognizes the men in the video. She hopes her scars serve another purpose. “It can basically teach people to love one another, I want that to be the biggest outcome of it all,” said Byrnes-Laird. Anyone with information about the crime is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373 or on their website www.lockemup.org. - (Black-on-white)

("Evil black monster") sentenced to life for murder (of White man) at Oak Lawn gas stationDeric Madison managed to avoid a capital murder conviction for the May 2014 slaying of a Dallas insurance salesman. But he will still serve a life sentence for killing 33-year-old Josh Tubbleville outside an Oak Lawn gas station, a Dallas County jury decided Monday. Madison, 25, was originally charged with capital murder because prosecutors said he robbed Tubbleville before shooting him. Instead, the same jury that would later sentence him decided that Madison — who had testifed during the trial that he was defending himself — was guilty of the lesser offense of murder. “When your time comes, and you’re going to die just like everybody else, you’re not going where I’m going,’” Caleb Tubbleville said. “Believe that.”Tubbleville’s mother had to spend two weeks in a mental hospital after his murder.“She feels you are very evil and a monster,” Tate said. - (Black-on-white)

Prosecutor: Cop Killer ‘Filled With Hatred,’ Said ‘Shoot The Police’The man charged with killing Chicago Police Officer Thor Soderberg in 2010 was “filled with hatred” when he coldly fired three shots into the 11-year veteran with the officer’s service weapon, a prosecutor said Monday. On the opening day of the murder trial for Bryant Brewer, Cook County Assistant State’s Attorney Brian Sexton said Brewer hopped a fence outside a police station at 61st and Racine because he was “looking for the police,” the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting. Witnesses had heard Brewer mumbling “f— the police” and “shoot the police” as he walked toward the station in the afternoon of July 7, 2010, Sexton said in an opening statement before Cook County Judge Timothy Joyce. After a fight outside Soderberg’s car, Brewer grabbed the officer’s 9mm handgun and fired into his back, his right eye and the top of his head, Sexton said. Then he allegedly fired at a janitor and a police officer who was checking out what was happening, but he missed both of them. “He is proud he gunned down a police officer,” Sexton said, as Soderberg’s widow and his fellow officers listened in court. “He is a police officer’s worst nightmare.” - (Black-on-white)

Family, friends mourn woman slain in Canby Park
She said the family has been devastated since learning Jamie Murphy was stabbed to death by her boyfriend, Gary D. Perkins, 34, of Wilmington, who has been charged with first-degree murder. “The medical examiner said he cut her jugular,” she said, “and her face was all cut up.” “He just got out, a few days before this happened, for beating her up,” Danielle Perkins said. He often beat her – once because she didn’t have enough money to buy him the McDonald’s meal he wanted, instead getting him food from the dollar menu – and repeatedly threatened to kill both her and the baby if she tried to get him to pay child support, she said. Despite a court-ordered paternity test, she added, Perkins denies the baby is his. Jamie Murphy was diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, but also had bipolar difficulties and developmental delays, her sisters said. She lost custody of the baby after sneaking out of the family’s house near New Castle with her and sleeping with Perkins on top of the slide so no one would see them. The couple often slept on the top of the slide after a police officer found them sleeping on the park bench. The night before Murphy’s body was found, a passerby took a short video of her and Perkins having a sexual encounter in the park and sent it to The News Journal.

Black boyfriend is suspect in kidnap and disappearance of innocent little White boy JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The man who police say lied about a car theft and the abduction of his girlfriend's toddler and who is charged with child neglect is now considered a suspect the disappearance of the boy. A massive search for 21-month-old Lonzie Barton who disappeared sometime between 8 p.m. Thursday and 2:20 a.m. Friday, continues, with the focus shifting Saturday to an area near Phillips Highway and Interstate 295. "There is still some hope that we can find little Lonzie alive; although, over time, that hope fades," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Chief of Detectives Tom Hackney said Saturday night.
Hackney said it is especially frustrating because the man in custody, William Ebron Jr., knows (where) Lonzie is, but he won't tell police. "We are not working this as a stranger abduction anymore. We're still listing it as an Amber Alert, still working it as a child abduction with a missing person," Hackney said. "Ebron is lying to us,” Hackney said of the original story that Lonzie as taken when Ebron's car was stolen when he briefly back inside to get something. “He went back to the apartment to do cocaine. That turns him into part of a monster, to do that.” "I don't know if Lonzie is alive or dead."
Ebron was getting ready to pick up Lonzie's mother, 25-year-old Lonna Lauramore Barton, from her job at Wacko's Gentlemen's Club. Ebron said he put Lonzie and his 5-year-old sister into his orange 1995 Honda Civic while he went back inside to get something. Lonzie has blonde hair, blue eyes, weighs 20 pounds and is about 2.5 feet tall. He was wearing only a diaper when he was last seen. Ebron has had run-ins with law enforcement before. - (Black-on-white)

(Black) Georgia boxer known as ‘Terrible Thomas’ charged with (white) wife’s murderSouth Georgia boxer Yathomas Riley has been charged with the murder of his wife, a local emergency room physician found shot in the head earlier this month inside the couple’s Leesburg home. Authorities told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Riley has suggested that his wife committed suicide — a similar defense to the one that, three years ago, led to his acquittal on attempted murder charges in Florida. “This is one of those cases where he’s essentially claiming that he has no knowledge of how she died,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Mike Walsingham said Tuesday. “And is pretty much indicating that she shot herself.” According to information previously released by the GBI, Riley called 911 shortly after 8:30 a.m. on July 10 to report that he had found his wife, 34-year-old Dr. Lisa Marie Riley, unresponsive inside their Northampton Road home. Emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene, and an autopsy later determined that she’d died of a gunshot wound to the head.
On Aug. 17, 2012, Yathomas Riley walked out of a different jail, the Miami-Dade Pre-Trial Detention Center, as a free man. He had been incarcerated for nearly two years on attempted murder charges, criminal accusations filed against him following the shooting of Koketia King, a woman described as his on-again, off-again girlfriend. King, a Florida City corrections officer, survived the ordeal and told authorities that Riley shot her three times during an argument. Riley contended that King shot herself. Five weeks before Lisa Riley’s death, she told police her husband pointed a handgun at her head while accusing her of cheating. He was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault and one of simple battery. “He apparently held a gun to her on three different occasions,” Lee County Sheriff Reggie Rachals said of the June 14 incident at the couple’s home. “During one of those times, he had his legs wrapped around her neck and upper chest area.” . - (Black-on-white)
